Thank you for sharing your story Tashybabe, it is so powerful and moving. It is also a great read, you are a wonderful writer. It is very courageous and generous of you to share this and it seems that I am one of many who have been inspired by you.
I read some of your posts before Leo was born and really admired you for choosing a homebirth for your first baby and for your fantastic attitude towards everything. You did an amazing job in giving birth to Leo, I am so sorry he could not stay with you.
Firstly, I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss of precious Leo. I read it with tears streaming down my face yet I felt so uplifted by your strength and courage.
Although I don't know you, this isn't actually the first time I have cried for you and your baby although I never knew his name before. We shared the same midwife J and it was by chance I went to visit her the day after Leo's birth. At first I couldn't understand why she wasn't herself that day but then she shared her grief at losing a baby to a beautiful couple. She gave no other details but the date and other details you give makes me think this was you.
It has been a long time since I have visited this site, and it was only by chance that I stumbled across your story. I have never posted a reply before but I want to let you know that I have often thought of you and your baby. I am so glad to have been able to read your beautifully written story and learn Leo's name. Your strength is honestly inspirational.
Hun, what an honour to read your story. You are incredible hun. What an angel in Leo. I am so so sorry he grew his wings so quickly. My heart goes out to you and i send you warm and knowing love. xoxox You will always miss him, love and hold him in your heart- never enough but a gift you learn to treasure over time.
I have tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart... Thank you for sharing your incredible story with us. You did such a wonderful job birthing Leo. So very sorry he couldn't stay with you and DH longer xx
Tashybabe - seeing that L eo's birthday is tomorrow, I wanted to read your beautiful account of his birth again. I can't stop the tears. The way you write about him is so beautiful.
